| UniProt functional annotation for P00995 | |||
| UniProt code: P00995. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Serine protease inhibitor which exhibits anti-trypsin activity (PubMed:7142173). In the pancreas, protects against trypsin- catalyzed premature activation of zymogens (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P09036, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7142173}. | |
| Function: | In the male reproductive tract, binds to sperm heads where it modulates sperm capacitance by inhibiting calcium uptake and nitrogen oxide (NO) production. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P09036}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7142173}. | |
| Disease: | Pancreatitis, hereditary (PCTT) [MIM:167800]: A disease characterized by pancreas inflammation, permanent destruction of the pancreatic parenchyma, maldigestion, and severe abdominal pain attacks. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10691414, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10835640, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12974284, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18617776, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19888199}. Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. | |
| Disease: | Tropical calcific pancreatitis (TCP) [MIM:608189]: Idiopathic, juvenile, nonalcoholic form of chronic pancreatitis widely prevalent in several tropical countries. It can be associated with fibrocalculous pancreatic diabetes (FCPD) depending on both environmental and genetic factors. TCP differs from alcoholic pancreatitis by a much younger age of onset, pancreatic calcification, a high incidence of insulin dependent but ketosis resistant diabetes mellitus, and an exceptionally high incidence of pancreatic cancer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12011155, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12187509}. Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. | |
